This year the Oilers have been a force to reckon with. The Jets have been able to play all over the place this year, but the team has really struggled on the season when facing a strong offense and their defense has not shown up in the games either. Look for the Jets to be able to come into the game and struggle yet again defensively as the Oilers offense is due to get back on pace in this game. Final Score, Edmonton Oilers win 4-1.
